This association, organized in 1873, is the
child of Sorosis, the noted women's club.
The president is Julia Ward Howe, who is
not only eminent in her day as u truly great
American woman, but who will live as long

Hymn of the Republic" Each successive
meeting has been the occasion of a higher
order of addresses, and this one, held for
three days in Masonic hall, has surpassed all
the preceding. Among the best productions
offered was that Of Mrs. May Wright
Sewall, of indianapolis, on women as Edu-
Gators" The very high reputation of the
indianapolis schools, the merit of the Indiana
school system-a system so near perfection
that it is being adopted or initiated by newer
states-and the fact that that state employs
so large a proportion of women and pays
them generously, made Mrs. Sewall's sum
mary of great interest. Mrs. Anna Garlin
Spencer was posted for IN address on THE
Domestic Problem" but preferred to give
one on intellectual Sympathy Among
Women" 1t was stribingly original, but the
lady got upon rather delicate ground by n

The American Yacht club has barred out
from its contests the wonderful little steam
yacht the Now Then, owned by Mr.. Nor.
man L. Munro, of New York, on the alleged
ground that she is not of the proper class.
Mr.. Munro doesn't hesitate to say, however,
that the real reason for this action on the
part of the club is the simple fact that the
Now Then is too fast for the other yachts
But he promises to have a bigger and a faster
steam yacht than the Now Then In commits
sion next year, and of such build and size as
will make it quite impossible for the club to
rule it out.

Even in these days of hurry and forgetful-
ness the name of Florence Nightingale is
Synonymous with all that is tender and
brave and self sacrificing in woman. Thirty
years ago her name was q household word,
and there is no doubt that her noble example
acted as a stimulus to many of the self sacri-
ticing women of both sections of the United
States who went to the front during the
fratricidal struggle of 1875.
But Notwithstanding this there are many
readers who have but faint knowledge of
Florence Nightingale and her noble work.
She is of English parentage, though born in
Florence, Italy, and is the younger daughter
of a Sheffield banker named Shore, who
adopted the name Nightingale in accordance
with the terms of the will of Peter Nightin-
gale, whose property fell to Shore. Florence
received the best of instruction in the Ian
guages, the classics, mathematics, music,
etc, but at an early age turned her attention
to the care of the sick, visiting hospitals while
yet a girl and, in 1S49, taking a special course
of instruction in the nurses art. In 1851 she
had charge of a sanitorium for infirm and in
valid g~overnesses in London, and in 1854, then
being "a years of age, vent to the Crimea as
superintendent of a corps of volunteer nurses.
There were ninety-two of these brave women,
and with Miss Nightingale as their leader
they organized a hospital at Scutari in No

her and permanently impairing her health,
Queen Victoria sent the heroine a Jew
eled cross, the sultan of Turkey sent
her a bracelet set with brilliants and a
letter of thanks; a fund of $3.50, 900 was
raised and a school for nurses founded under
her direction, and the soldiers of the Crimean
war started a subscription to build her a
monument, which she would not permit.
For many years she has lived unobtrusively
in Park lane, London. But although physi-
cally incapacitated from active benevolent
work, she has managed to do much for suf-
fering humanity in her writings, which have
been voluminous, helpful and instructive.
Florence Nightingale, as might be ex.
pected, has numbered among her friends
many of the most eminent men and women
of the times. Perhaps her most beautiful
friendship has been that with Jenny Lind, the
singer. There is but a years difference in
their ages, and the singer reappeared on the
concert stage to charm the world with her
music at about the time that Miss Nightin-
gale started to the Crimea to alleviate the
sutferings of English soldiers. Both have
been noted during their latter life for their
unobtrusive deeds of charity.
1t was while she was caring for battered
fighting men in the Crimea that Miss Night
ingale met Alexis ~Soyer-Soyer, the cook,
now almost forgotten by the busy world and
remeihDereu principally because OF MS skill
in making delicious dishes out of scraps. But
Soyer's work was scarcely less beneficial to
the English army than that of Florence
Nightingale herself. ooh, yesl' said an old
timer to whom the writer spoke of Soyer-
she invented a camp kitcheni' Soyer, who
was of course a Frenchman by birth, but a
British subject by adoption, offered his SER
vices as chief cook at the Crimea to the
British army and was given unlimited power
to overturn the existing order of things Gull
nary before Sebastopol. He succeeded so
well that the general health of the army i'm
proved perceptibly at once and he was the
recipient of unstinted praise. He died in 1855.
Soyer was the author of several books, not
the least charming of which is "a Culinary
Campaign published shortly after his re-
turn from the Crimea- This is what he
wrote of Miss Nightingale:

The RellAhla Man.

OF all the qualities that combine &C
form q good character, there is mol
one more important than reliability.
Most emphatically is this true Of the
character Of good business man.
The word itself embraces both truth
and honesty, and the reliable man
must necessarily be truthful and hon
est.
We see 40 much all around us that
exhibits the absence of this GROWING
quality, that we are tempted in oul
bilious moods " deny its very exis
tence
But there are, nevertheless, reliable
men, men TO be depended upon, to bt
trusted, in whom you may rcpose con
fidence, whose word lie as good as theil
bond, and whose promise is perform
ance.
Ii any one of you know such mar
make him your friend. You can only
do 30. however, by assimilating hi
character.
The reliable man is man of good
judgment. He does not jump at con
illusions. He is not frivolous man
He 10 thoughtful He turns over I
subject in his mind, and looks at it al
around. He is not a partial or one
sided man.
He sees through thing. lie is ap
to be n very reticent man. He doc,
not have to talk great deal. He is
moderate man, not only in habits o
body, but also OF mind.
He is not a passionate man; il so by
nature he has overcome it by grace
He is a sincere man, not plotter o.
schemer.
What he s 'ys may be relied on. Ill
is trustworthy man. You feel SAT-
with your property or the administra
ton of affairs in his hands.
He Is q brave man, Tor his conclu
sions are logically deduced from thu
sure basis of truth, and he does no
fear to maintain them.
He is a good man, for no one can b.
thoroughly honest and truthful with
out being good. Is such quality at
tainabler Most assurcdly 80. 1t il
not born, IL is made.
Character may be formed; of course
then, its component parts may b.
nodded TO that formation.
